Had a blast "stole-ing" our honors thesis students at the @honorscollegeuml.bsky.social brunch today! Alex & Allie both joined the lab in their first year, and it's been a joy to watch them grow into strong leaders & excellent scientists (and even better to watch their family get a bit misty-eyed) 🥰
